The Azores islands are one of the most privileged places in the world for the observation of cetaceans.

If we also count the resident and migratory species, in its crystal clear waters is possible to find up to 24 different species of dolphins and whales. It’s a third of the total amount of cetaceans that exist nowadays.

Join us in this adventure and come to discover these nice inhabitants of the Atlantic Ocean.

10 of us went on an adventure holiday this November to Portugal with Big Blue...it was better than the best holiday i can even think of! Heleen and Dan are perfect hosts. They organised everything making for a seamless unforgettable experience. Paddleboarding and surfing were our main activities, both being new experiences for all of us. The instructors were great and catered for every level. Cant wait to book up another holiday with these lovely people, im totally hooked. If you want to try new activities, enjoy the outdoors and enjoy having fun with a group of people then Big Blue Adventures are the ones for the job :)

Amazing experience! Heleen and Dan were easy to book with, helped us arrange everything prior to our trip and made sure that we had an unforgettable experience. I'm giving them my very best recommendations.

I booked a 23 man stag do through Big Blue Adventures and can't recommend them highly enough. The stag weekend included 2 nights stay at a Nosda Hostel and a whole day of Coasteering at Rhossili which has been voted one of the top 10 beaches in the world. Heleen and Dan who own Big Blue Adventures were amazing and helped me organise everything. They even accommodated last minute changes to the stag party with a couple extra people wanting to join us last minute. The hostel is really central and was only a 5 minute walk into the centre of Cardiff. The hostel had a really good atmosphere and there were other stag and hen parties staying there that weekend so the hostel is used to big groups.
The Coasteering was incredible. The instructors were great and Heleen also came along with us with a Go Pro and took loads of photos and even created a video for us which she emailed to me after the weekend. Heleen arranged for a big bus to take all of us there and back and we stopped off at a nice pub for lunch on the way back. I am scared of heights but I managed most of the jumps although I did wimp out of the last one. It was the best hangover cure for everyone!
I would definitely recommend Coasteering and Big Blue Adventures to everyone. I am thinking about booking a surfing holiday with them to Portugal as they were so good.
